DESCRIPTION

STANDARD FLYWHEEL

The standard flywheel is used on the gas engines. The flywheel (3) is a heavy plate bolted to the rear of the crankshaft (1). The flywheel incorporates the ring gear (2) around the outer circumference to mesh with the starter to permit engine cranking. The rear face of the flywheel serves as the driving member to the clutch disc.

DUAL MASS FLYWHEEL

The Dual Mass Flywheel is used on the Diesel engine. The flywheel incorporates the ring gear (5) around the outer circumference to mesh with the starter to permit engine cranking. The primary flywheel (6) side is bolted to the crankshaft. The secondary flywheel (3) side serves as the driving member to the clutch disc. Internal springs (4) between the flywheels are use to dampen energy. The Dual Mass Flywheel is serviced as an assembly only and should never be taken apart.
